Step up
Hi,
Can I say that my history teacher always steps up the questions in the second midterm test as opposed to the first one if they’re more difficult and challenging?
I was told in a previous post that it's not possible. Could you perhaps help me find an alternative? What about 'tone up'? I thought of it because people use 'tone down' when they talk about decreasing the intensity of something.
I also know, for instance, that I can say 'take the questions to a whole new level', but I was wondering if perhaps there's a specific phrase for what I'm trying to say.
Thank you.

- I think you'd do better just to say it in plain English.
